What is the classification of the viral conjunctivitis. For example kingdom phylum class order family genus species?

Viral conjunctivitis is caused by a "virus". Viruses are not classified in the same manner as other organisms. They have no phylum, kingdom, etc. Viruses are classified first by whether they are a DNA or RNA virus. They are then classified according to how many strands they have, how big they are, whether they are positive or negative stranded and so forth. Viral conjunctivitis might be caused by any of a number of different viruses so it is not possible to say which one.

What kingdom is influenza in?

Viruses are classified differently than living organisms, since they are not technically alive. In taxonomy, viruses are not assigned to a Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, or Order. The influenza viruses start, in most classification systems, at the level of the Family. They are in the Family of Orthomyxoviridae. There are a few newer classification systems that have been developed to better categorize and classify viruses, but these are not yet the standard.
